The scandal about Cleveland has run itsUourse, been refuted-and reacted in his favor. As originally published in an obscure Republican sheet, but greedily taken up by the press of that party and spread throughout the land, it attracted attention and perhaps to a limited extent created a prejudice against Cleveland. The publication of the truth robs the original story of all its bad features, and makes a very common place affair out of what was spread over,the country as an offense too great to be overlooked or excused. It is to the credit of Democratic journals that they have not retaliated by publishing any of ^the^sensational stories that are afloat fekL ''' tee8, Blaine's private life. There - J "i IL.1 for his eleciiou. Another man who j jumped at the conclusion that Cleve- , Jand was a bad man is Wm. Purcell, : of Rochester, N. Y. Mr. Purcell was an elector on the Clevelaud ticket, , and when the Buffalo story was circu- j lated be resigned because he was sat- j isfied, he said, from what he heard, that Cleveland was morally unclean, i Mr. Parcell has changed his mind since the truth has come out, and has published a card in the Rochester paper jn which he states that since the truth of the Buffalo matter has been reached he withdraws his remarks about Cleveland and will support him. It would have been much better for both of these men if they had held their peace until they knew the facts. It is the failing of most men, however, to conclude that tbey know it all when they have heard ODly one side of a story. i PI^P' party^ however, to search the record ^QjBr of the private life of the candidates of the opposing party for campaign material. It will be remembered that the Democrats in the campaign of 1880 did not touch Garfield's private life, and they have not taken a line from Blaine's private record. . As in Garfield's case they have dealt only with such things as concern him as a public man. What the people want to know is this: Whichf candidate, judging from the public record of each, gives the greatest promise of honest government; which of the candidates of the two great parties has proved the more faithfol to the 'trusts that have been reposed in them ? It is not difficult to answer this question. What is there that can be said to Cleveland's discredit? What is there that cannot be said to Blaine's discredit? Cleveland has won an enviable reputation for official integrity. Blaine has won a dirty reputation as a political jobber. HASTY CONCLUSIONS. Daring the present Presidential canvass a few men have already realized the folly of reaching conclusions too hastily. One of these men is Henry Ward Beecher. He heard the Buffalo scandal about Cleveland, and immediately concluded that it was true, and that he couldn't support ! him, although he had publicly an- j nounoed that he would do so earn- ! estly in consequence of Biaine's dirty j political life. Investigation proved i that the scandal wasn't what the Rev. j Mr. Ball, a Baptist minister with a bad reputation, and the Blaine newspapers, said it was, and Beecher discovered that he could support ' Cleveland without hurting bis con- ; science in the least, and now an- ! nounces again that he will support | and^work earnestly and unceasingly j ESITOKIAL NOTES. Mr. Blaine promisee uot to be a dead head in the Republican enterprise. It is said that he will invest a half million in the campaign fnnd. A colored Cleveland aud Hendrix club was organized in Cincinnati last week, with 143 members. John Lcgan's black law record appears to be more than the intelligent colored men of the border States can stand. In London the people call 03 degrees Fahrenheit intense heat. They don't know anything about 104 in the shade, and broiling lizzards on fence mi .1 . ??_ runs oy lue suns rays. nu uaicu t kDowu it ourselves this summer. Logan's son, at West Point, is under trial for profanity aud lying. Blaine's brother has been published as an absconding forger. The plot thickens and the campaign appears to be run on personal issues. A good many papers assert that Blaine has made a trade with Butler, and promised him an important Cabinet position for bolting the Democratic party and running for the Presidency on the Greenback ticket. Thus far there has been nothing in the canvass so grotesque as the performance bf editor Dana, ^ho used to denounce in fierce terms the notorious salary grab, and now supports for the Presidency the author of that bill. Only six States hold their local elections prior to the Presidential election. These are: Arkansas, Sept 1st; Vermont, Sept. 2; Maine, Sept. 8; Georgia,.Oct. 1; Ohio and West Virginia, Oct. 14. The interest will centre in Maine, Ohio and West Vir-^ gioia. The Lynn, Mass., Bee has nominated Dana, editor of the New York Sun, for Yice-President on the Butler ticket. This is not as great a reward as Dana hoped for, as he has had the Presidential bee in his bonnet for years, but as Cleveland has disappointed his ambition he is now seeking revenge by deserting the Democratic standard bearer and supporting the demagogue and monopolist Butler. The New York World says: "There is a rumor that the Republican leaders have been in a terrible condition of excitement for the past three days, in consequence of a disposition on the part of Mr. Blaine to 'throw up his" hand i\nd withdraw from the game,' as a close friend of Steve Elkins expresses it. Mr. Blaine is said to be thoroughly discouraged. It seenls that leading Republicans all over the Union have been writing letters to him personally and stating their reasons for opposing him, and he can get no encouragement from BM^ferter. The stoBMis that he get out-and have peace I' Mr. Blaine's withdrawal at this time could not save his party, and would be really, a bad thing for the country. The corruptionists need just such a lesson as Blaine's orushing defeat will teach them. It will pprify the air like a thunderstorm. Ob, no! Do not'let Blaine withdraw." Declination. In consequence of sickness, and ray professional engagements, I am constrained to withdraw my name from the race, as a candidate for the Legislature. Thanking my friends for their kindness, Ac. Respectfully. G. T. Graham. Aug. 20,1884. Batesbcrg, August 13.?Yesterday evening at G o'clock the Methodist Church at this place was the scene of a brilliant marriage, the high contracting parties being Capt. James B. Guess, of Graham's, S. C., and Miss Sallie S. Mitchell, of this place. They leave here this morning for Grabams's, their future home, whence they will go North on a bridal tour, visiting various watering places. * . In a Bad Fix. A candidate stopped at a widow's in Mush Island a few nights since and on retiring to bed dropped ^his pants on the floor. In putting the house in order that night the pants were mistaken for a pair of one of the boys in the family and put out of the candidates reach. When he awoke in the morning as be could not find them ho returned to bed. Breakfast was waited for the guest till it was cold and when he was finally urged to arouse himself be made bis predicament known and to bis joy bis pants were soon restored. Central Conference.

Mr. Editor:?While we truvel over the extent of her territory we are agreeably surprised at the wonderful ! resources of Lexington. Her nataral advantages are destined to be developed some day; her water power cannot be surpassed. We were struck | with the beauty and magnitude of Biack Creek, her dark waters curling ! swiftly along, which forcibly reminded us of a lion seeking for what he i may devour, while the waters of Cedar Creek go rippling aloug merrily, , seeming to say: "God speed to you, | my friend." When the politician and capitalist | of this country succeed in bringing ! the mills to the cotton, we will ven ? *^ ortTr fI\of i? ?ofno.l rvf Irnjiannrf. t i/iuc V\J oay iuuu iuo^uu i* . ? 1 iDg our cotton to Lowell, Newark, j Trenton, and other Northern factoj ries, we will have no farther to carry | it than to the banks of the wonderful ! streams of Lexington County. Howi ever, Lexington is abreast with the ; times in manufacturing, according to statistics compiled by the News and j Courier up to the time that Saluda Factory was burned. She had man! ufactaring property upon ber soil | worth $485,000, with an annual proi duct valued at $53?,0U0. Her lum ber and turpentine interest is a great source of industry. The cars carry i off loads of this valuable freight almost every day, making Lexington County an important factor in the commercial world. The crops have been watered with j copious showers of rain, and there is I a marked improvement, promising an average yield. It is a fact, however, that a great deal of the cotton is small for the time of year, but it seems to be in a growing condition, and if the seasons coutinue late the average crop will be reached. M. Q. Norms. To the Voters of Lexington. The approaching election seemB to be the all-absorbing topic of the day. Will a member of the W. C. T. U. be allowed a few words in regard to Uig : matter? The sabject of temperance shonid be a question of vital importance at the polls. If we hope ever to banish the demon of strong drink from oar land, it mast be done by putting in authority men who, in the strength of God, will work for the temperance canse. At some of the public gatherings where candidates withont number extend the cordial greeting, we are told i that whiskey flows free as water. I Lovers of peace, of good order, of social and domestic happiuess, will you give your support to the men who expect to ride into office on this tide of rain, and misery, and death? Will yon help to elect the man who bnvs votes with^^sl^u^ ers will consolidate in favor of that class of candidates, and we on the other side most consolidate, or oar can 96 is lost. Ere many years the question of prohibition will come np in onr legislative halls. What would yon have the members from Lexington s^y on the subject? Would you have them give not only their votes, but their whole influence, in favor of prdhibi,tion ? If so, for the lave of peace, for the love of home, for the hope of i heaven, we beseech you to use your influence iu the coming election against the men who treat the ignorant and deluded voters to the beverage of hell. "Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, that put teth the bottle to him, that maketh him drunken." Hab. 2 15. A Member of thf. W. C. T. U. Letter from Oakvilla. We have lately been favored with fine rains and the most affectionate attentions of an abundant crop of candidates, which is to be chopped out to a stand on the 30th instant. Oar crop prospects are good, though the July drouth did some injury. We are certainly inclined to endorse Mr. Qaltiwanger iu his article favoring the strict enforcement of our Primary rules, excluding all except i known Democrats from voting, and as Prof. O'Brien, who has been an able advocate of the Primary system siuce its first adoption, well said in j his speech on the 7th, "If Radicals i are to choose onr candidates, theD j let us return to the old convention j system.' i Our people expect to have a grand j free dinner and picnic, with the Hon. I Samuel Dibble and other big gnns to ! speak, some time between this and i November. The excellent artist, Mr. McElveen, is still with us, but will i leave in a few days for some point in Orangeburg County. A protracted | meeting will open at New Hope ; Church, near here, to-morrow, with ; Revs. Joyner and Gunter to preach. The school at Boynton Academy, under Prof. O'Brien, is prospering finely, and, like all his schools, is one of the best in our State. Do you know that Bull Swamp?Mush Island if yon please?contains as pretty girls, as liouest men, as fat babies, as i fine peaches and melons, with as : good a school, a teacher as accomplished, an orator as brilliant, aud a 1 "King" as large, as any township in the Palmetto State. J. W. H. Oakvili.a, Aug. loth, 1884. The Republicans have beat the j Democratic managers in one thing. ; They have engaged nearly all the most talented liars of the country. The few that they have not secured ^ will probably volunteer for Butler. 9 John S. Summer's Burbscuo. Ou Saturday lust I attended mT. John S. Summer's barbecue, Capers Chapel. Arriving on the! grounds at au early hour, the young j people were already stepping the j Ight fantastic. Af er the crowd gathered, which numbered about 200, the speaking commenced. H. C.! Bailev acting as chairman. Hon. S. ; I P. Wingnrd led off in a strong Democratic speech. His views were t?? same ns expressed on former ocC isions. Mnj. O. Lenphart followed in quite a lengthy speech. His views on State issues were the same as formerly reported. Diuner beujg announced the crowd responded with alacrity. The dinner was prepared in the finest style. After dinner Mr. E. J. Dreher made an address on educational topics, and was followed by Mr. W. H. Sharp, ou the same subject Dr. W. T. Brooker, having arrived was introduced, and gave -an account of bis stewardship. In closing he said be claimed the right native Lexingtonian, and hoped to sleep bis last sleep beneath her honored soil. Mercer Brown, Esq., was next introduced and entertained ifce audience with mnsic and songs after which he made a few remarks to^ie amusement of the audience. _No other speakers being present dan<?ng was resumed which was kept up^to a late hour. Crops in this section are looking well. Cottou is beginning to opCn, and soon young and old will be engaged in gathering the fleecy staple. H. C.
